CIA's communications suffered a catastrophic compromise

You can't make this stuff up.

> Google’s search functions allow users to employ advanced operators — like “AND,” “OR,” and other, much more sophisticated ones — that weed out and isolate websites and online data with extreme specificity.

> once the Iranian double agent showed Iranian intelligence the website used to communicate with his or her CIA handlers, they began to scour the internet for websites with similar digital signifiers or components — eventually hitting on the right string of advanced search terms to locate other secret CIA websites.

So it was complete security by obscurity, all indexed and on Google.

These are the people managing the greatest mass surveillance apparatus the world has ever known.
